Breckenridge Texan

As many get into the back-to-school mindset, local school activities are getting underway. This week, Breckenridge High School will offer a Mini Band Camp, and the Junior High will host a New Student Orientation.

BHS Band

The Mini Band Camp will be for all Breckenridge High School students interested in participating in band. It will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, July 28-29, in the Band Hall. Students are asked to bring a mask and self-assess their health for signs of sickness prior to attending.

Next month, BHS will hold a Band Camp on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, Aug. 3-14, from 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. in the Band Hall. Again, students will be asked to bring a mask and self-assess your health for signs of sickness prior to attending.

Breckenridge Junior High

Breckenridge Junior High School will host a new student orientation event for all sixth- and seventh-grade students to learn more about being a Bronco, test for instruments for band, tour the campus, see where classes will be, and more. Students will need to be dropped off and picked up at the front entrance of LT Cook Gym as follows:

6th Grade Students – Dropoff at 9 a.m., pickup at 11 a.m.
7th Grade Students – Dropoff at 1 p.m., pickup at 3 p.m.

Next month, BJHS will host its annual Bronco Roundup. All sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students and their parents are invited to the school from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12, to get ready for the start of school. During the event, students can put money on their lunch account, pick up schedules, complete paperwork, turn in immunization records, sign up for updates from teachers and the school, and more.
